I have been looking at the explanations about how to get the S3 antminer mining bitcoins.
Bear in mind, I haven't mined at all yet, and I also am not really familiar with electronics and messing around
with power supply and such.(it doesn't come ready to mine, but I would have to get power supply stuff myself and do some kind of paper clip electrical trick etc..)
To be honest, the explanations seem fairly daunting, with room for errors being many possibilities because
of so many steps involved in getting the S3 mining bitcoins.
What do you think? Is buying an S3 Antminer a good idea for me,
or do you think I will encounter problems in one of the many steps involved, and never actually get to the point where I am ever mining bitcoins?
From what I see, I think the Antminer ISN'T USER FRIENDLY.
The fact I have to jump through numerous hoops, doing multiple steps before I ever even start to mine btc,
means I likely wouldn't make it to that point, and I just end up with a black box with some fans on it and no mining,
and wasted my money and time, without support locally to help me get the thing mining bitcoins.
Therefore, I can pay somewhat for shipping me an Antminer, so I could learn to mine bitcoins, but I wont pay for one.
So, if anyone has an Antminer they can send me, I will pay for the shipping after it arrives, and you just let me know what BTC address to pay btc to and how much.
If I can get the thing mining bitcoins for me, then I might buy one but not if I am uncertain about going through all those steps.
Basically what I am saying is, that you send me the Antminer, and then if I can get it mining bitcoins,
then I pay you for the antminer.
I think its backwards for me to have to pay for something I dont even know if it will mine bitcoins for me because its not user friendly, and I have to pay in advance for that? I wont do it.
You send me the Antminer, and I will pay you later on if it is working to mine bitcoins, but I wont pay if it isnt.
How about if I send you a black box, with a couple little fans included, and you pay me $400 in advance for it?( and it doesnt mine bitcoins, so it just sits in the corner collecting dust until the next garbage day pickup)
Dude, they are insanely easy to use. Its not bitmains fault youre a complete idiot.
